Our family is in decline

Geralt rushed over with his sword in hand. Of course the bald wizard noticed that, although he was not afraid, he still raised his spirits with great vigor.

When Geralt looked at him, he immediately abandoned his original target, Tamara, and instead focused on the master witcher who had been following him for so long.

He grabbed the triangular pendant on his chest with one hand and continued to murmur unintelligible words. The next second his eyes turned dark.

At the same time, an inexplicable force descended from the void as he exerted it, and the already dark environment around him became even darker. As for the bald wizard, he actually disappeared and escaped into the darkness.

After losing his target, Geralt did not dare to attack rashly, so he had to stop and look around at the deep darkness around him.

Tamara originally wanted to run away, but she has always been very courageous. If she can use this melee to confuse her traces, she seems to be able to cut off the "tail" that cannot be shaken off.

In fact, the bigger reason is that she knows this master demon hunter who wanders around the continent hunting monsters. He can be driven by money and has a good reputation.

Not to mention that he is strong enough to deal with the wizard, but he needs a little help now.

The crystal ball in her hand emitted a strange light, and the position of the bald wizard was projected on it.

"He is here, don't give him time to prepare the ceremony."

Tracking and appearing is very simple for Tamara, who is good at divination and prophecy.

Without much hesitation, Geralt followed the guidance and rushed forward with his sword. Although he was not sure whether the guidance was correct, it was stupid and crazy to ask a wizard to prepare unknown and strange rituals.

The wizard also realized that his position was exposed, and the half-prepared ritual could only be performed in a hurry.

Weird symbols appeared in the air, and an unspeakable evil force descended. Geralt felt that something was staring at him, trying to corrode his body, but the witcher's special physique resisted it. Of course, it is also possible that the wizard's ritual was interrupted.

"Damn it!" The bald wizard could naturally feel that the secret technique had failed. He couldn't help but look at Tamara on the other side, with a ferocious look on his face. The ritual materials turned into dust and fell from his fingers under the force of his hands.

But his reaction made Tamara feel happy. A weird smile appeared on her face, and she even sneered.

"You should regret messing with a Roma..."

But the battle was still going on. After his position was exposed, facing the charging demon hunter, the wizard did not dare to spend time performing complicated rituals. Instead, he raised the bone furnace and pushed it, and strong black breath spurted out from the beast's mouth.

Geralt didn't stop for a moment, raised his hand to make a seal, and muttered something. In the next second, strong spiritual fluctuations broke out under his thoughts.

Against the backdrop of the black mist, one could see a clear fan-shaped shock wave that directly dispersed the black mist. Even the bald wizard hiding behind was hit hard and took a few steps back.

As an experienced demon hunter, Geralt would not miss any opportunity and immediately rushed forward, waving the long sword in his hand.

The wizard looked thin and had no weapon in his hand to fight, but after being inhaled by the light blue mist rising from the bone furnace, his movements instantly became more dexterous, and he dodged directly to avoid the attack range of the long sword. .

Most of a wizard's methods are based on spells and props. The threat he faces if he is approached by others is too great.

Thinking of this bald wizard, I felt a little impatient. If the ritual had been successful, it wouldn't have been so difficult, but now we can only use consumables.

He reached out to fumble in his pocket, then turned around and threw out what he had in his hand towards Geralt who was chasing after him.

The experienced Geralt had always noticed his small movements. Facing the unknown items splashed in the range, he once again put his hand in front of him and made another gesture.

The powder seemed to hit a wall of air, but this did not prevent further reactions. A strong flash erupted the moment the powder came into contact.

In the darkness, the flash would become extremely dazzling and even sting. Even Geralt couldn't help but close his eyes. Fortunately, the shield successfully blocked the flash powder and prevented it from getting closer and causing greater damage.

The next second, the shield shattered and disappeared into the air, along with the black powder adhering to it and falling down.

As for the bald wizard, he also took the opportunity to distance himself again, but his figure was gradually swallowed up by the darkness and disappeared. Finally, he could be seen pouring something into the mouth of the bone furnace.

When Geralt saw this, he could only rush forward and could not give the wizard time. This was the consensus of all extraordinary people...

Tamara had just recovered from the flash, and she was also implicated, but fortunately there was no big problem.

In contrast, the methods revealed by the two men fighting just now made her energetic. [Sigil] is one of the important manifestations of the demon hunter's combat ability.

The first type of sigil that disperses the black mist and repels the wizard at the same time should be the Alder sigil, which can form a telekinetic shock wave that can knock enemies away and destroy relatively fragile obstacles.

The second type of sigil that resists flash powder should be the Quen sigil. Its specific function is to form a temporary shield to resist physical attacks.

She had only heard about it before, but now she actually saw it.

The wizard used too many dark methods, and Tamara knew that if she wanted to break that environment, she would need the help of the battle sister.

It was only when she turned her attention that she realized that the nun seemed to be in some kind of trouble.

Because the guy named Catherine doesn't engage in direct confrontation at all, and she also has some disgusting props in her hands that make the nuns feel bored.

Tamara knew a little bit about the clergy of the church. She could feel that the nuns were oppressed by the environment. Unfortunately, she knew how to help them.

Tamara gave up the carriage that protected her and also locked herself, and took the initiative to come out and walk towards the nun.

In addition to the crystal ball in her hand, there was a special wooden-handled iron-ringed torch that was lit, and darkness retreated wherever she went.

This thing is one of her collections. I heard that the iron ring is wrapped in holy oil blessed by a certain saint.

"The power of the holy flame is flowing!"

The nun felt something and couldn't help but look at the fire, and then Tamara holding the torch.

Teammates, albeit temporarily.

The appearance of the flames also dispelled the suppression on the field, allowing the nun to regain the power to cast magical spells. She raised the hammer and yelled at Catherine.

"Be judged!"

A ray of light shot out from the hammer and landed directly on Catherine's head without waiting for a second.

The originally flexible body suddenly stopped, and the whole person seemed to be stunned, as if her soul was destroyed by this blow. On the contrary, the nun's state was restored by the blessing of divine magic.

At the same time, the steadily burning torch in Tamara's hand was like a newly lit match. The brightness of the fireworks suddenly increased by 20%. The light that emitted seemed to have some kind of sacred power to dispel the darkness further away.

But Tamara was affected by the stirring spirituality and couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

The nun originally planned to take the opportunity to go up and kill Catherine with a hammer, but after noticing Tamara's condition, she put down the hammer and raised the code for the time being, muttering something about using magic.

Even a ray of sympathy is rare in the fierce battle.

Tamara could feel a surge of power temporarily stabilizing her body's injuries, and she could recognize that it was this power that gave the church its transcendent status.

"Thank you..." Tamara, like most extraordinary beings, stayed away from the church, but it was undeniable that this power was indeed magical.

"Even here, the Holy Light will shine on us." The nun's attitude did not show hostility. On the contrary, she encouraged her. It seemed that she was not one of the more extreme clergy.

But at this moment, Catherine finally got rid of the influence of the magic, and she seemed to be uncomfortable.

She was so embarrassed facing a severely suppressed nun, and now that the restrictions were broken, there was an additional enemy. She didn't even need to think too much to know that she couldn't defeat her.

She originally didn't like the bald wizard's order, but this time it made her resist even more. She had no intention of continuing, so she turned around and ran towards her master.

She couldn't run away directly, because she knew that her master's real power was far more than this, and her life was also limited in his hands. If she ran away directly, she might die instantly.

Seeing this, the two nuns quickly chased after them...

To be honest, Geralt doesn't like to hunt down wizards, or most extraordinary people don't like to provoke difficult enemies like wizards, because no one knows how much combat power can be gained from rich knowledge. The longer the wizard's strength becomes, the more terrifying it becomes.

It's just that in his long career, he still has his own understanding of this kind of enemy. More directly, Totnes' reward money is too much.

Faced with the harassment of the bald wizard with various small props, Geralt still waved his sword with a cold face, and from time to time used seals to connect, either offensively or defensively.

The battle situation seemed to be at a disadvantage for him, but in fact it was firmly in Geralt's hands.

In his long career, he had two kinds of experience in facing wizards. One was to make a sudden attack and force him to kill him.

It might have been possible if the nun had waited for her to enter first, but it was a pity that the wizard had given advance warning.

The second type is naturally the current situation. If the other party is prepared, they can only slowly grind it out and deceive the other party's tricks.

Anyway, for wizards, spirituality is less and less used, but it is difficult to recover. If you don't pay attention, you will be spiritually restless, and the recovery ability brought by your demon hunter's physique can fully withstand the consumption of the body.

If you press too hard at the beginning, it will be easy to fight for your life. This is why he does not rush to chase and kill, but hangs on and keeps consuming the opponent.

An experienced witcher is never impatient, because those who are impatient will die.

And just as he and the wizard were consuming each other, the commotion on the other side suddenly broke the rhythm he had mastered.

Looking at the woman rushing over, Geralt took the initiative to keep a safe distance out of caution, and Catherine took the opportunity to run behind the bald wizard.

"waste!"

When the bald wizard saw Catherine attracting the two of them, he immediately felt that it was difficult to deal with them, but he also understood that his ability as a servant could not entangle the two of them.

The nun and Tamara arrived, and the two sides confronted each other. For a moment, all four sides met, and the melee broke out again.

Three against two, one side has a front row with healers and assists, but the bald wizard only has one useless servant who can't even resist damage.

It has to be said that the bald wizard fell into a moment of regret at this time. He should not have been greedy just now...

And at this moment, a series of rapid horse hooves sounded on the old road late at night.

At this moment, everyone at the scene became nervous. They didn't know whether the person coming was an enemy or a friend.

Hearing the sound proved that it was not far away, and soon everyone saw a horse running wildly. They couldn't see clearly in the dark, but they seemed to be able to feel the sharp eyes sweeping over him.

The visitor was none other than Disma, who had been sent out by Lance to deliver a message. He also found a group of people doing something unknown in front of the bright fire.

"Stop! There are traps on the road!" Geralt reacted and shouted loudly as he watched the horses getting closer and closer.

But Tamara naturally knew it, but looked at it coldly. If someone helped her escape the trap, it would be a good thing for herself...

Of course Disma heard the shouting from the front, but don't forget what he came out to do. He was afraid of the cultists blocking his way along the way.

Now when he heard this, he immediately remembered the lord's reminder. Not only did he have no intention of stopping the horse, but he had already taken out a musket in his hand as a warning.

No matter whether these people are members of the cult or not, they can't stop him!

If it were that simple, let him rush past, but the problem is that there are really traps set by the wizard on the road.

The fast horse passed by as if something had been touched, but Disma immediately felt that something was wrong. His years of experience as a gangster gave him an inspiration-like impulse, and he decisively abandoned the horse, jumped out and rolled several times on the ground.

When he got up in embarrassment, he found that the horse under his crotch had been killed by a force. No external injuries were visible, but it fell straight to the ground, as if it had been dead for a long time.

This situation made Disma's already highly nervous nerves tense, and he pointed the gun at them, "Who are you? What are you doing?"

It has to be said that the nun holding the torch was the only one at the scene who made Disma suppress the idea of ​​shooting directly, because the church people should not join forces with the cult, but he was not sure about the situation at the scene.

Tamara noticed that the force blocking the road was gone, and it proved that the trap laid by the wizard was finally broken because it was triggered.

At this time, he opened his mouth to explain, but also guided the question.

"Be careful of that evil wizard, he set the trap."

This sentence directly made Disma focus on the wizard. He was not from the Empire, so he didn't look like a good person.

But he soon suppressed the messy emotions and spoke solemnly.

"I'm not interested in your fight."

After that, he was about to leave. His mission was not completed yet. Of course, he had to prioritize the mission. He had passed the age of being brave and fierce.

Of course, he also knew that every simple thing here was so close to Hamlet, so he had to go back and report to the lord as soon as possible before making a decision.

But sometimes things aren't as simple as he hoped...
